a coilover..
A spring apparatus is often used to figure out the force constant of a spring. It has a ruler, spring (with a circular platform to add masses on) and a needle (place at 0 on the ruler). Because force and distance are directly proportional, as you add masses and see the distance on the ruler you can easily figure out the force constant with the equation Fe = kx , where Fe = FG = mg
A coil spring works by compressing and then expanding when a vehicle is going over pumps. Coil springs help make the ride a little smoother for most vehicles. The coils spring is attached to the undercarriage.
A solenoid valve is a valve controlled by an electrical coil. A spring keeps the valve closed. When power is turned on to the coil, a plunger is pulled, opening the valve.
These terms apply to the coils inside a wattmeter. 'Pressure coil' is an archaic term for 'voltage coil', which is connected in parallel with the supply, while the 'current coil' is connected in series with the load.
A 'pressure coil' is an archaic term for a 'voltage coil' (UK terminology) or 'potential coil' (US terminology), as opposed to the 'current coil' in a wattmeter. This coil is connected in parallel with the supply, while the current coil is connected in series with the load.
A strut is a combination of a shock absorber and a coil spring
The coil spring provides suspension and absorbs shock.
the function of shock absorber is to prevent the coil spring or the spring bar to move freely or to prevent them to bounce as it is.that is why they put shock absorber to have a good riding comfort depends on the road condition
A strut looks like a shock absorber inside a coil spring.
Coilovers are coil springs designed to be mounted on the shock (special shock). It is a packaging/handling design that takes up less space than seperate coil spring/ shocks. They usually allow suspension height adjustment and improved handling.

The definition of coilover shock is a shock absorber that has a coil spring on the outside. Coilover shocks are used on many vehicles including mountain bikes.
<Important Note> Changing coil springs can be dangerous even with the proper tools. Raise and support your Civic. Remove wheel. Open hood or trunk. Remove any brake lines that are attached to the shock/strut assembly. Remove the 2 upper shock/strut nuts. <Important Note>DO NOT remove the center nut on shock/strut assembly as this will release the coil spring from the assembly. The result will be that the spring(which is still under pressure) can (and usually will) come flying out with a huge amount of force. Remove the lower shock/strut nut and bolt. Remove the shock/strut assembly from your Civic. <Important Note>You will now need a spring compressor tool which can be rented from your local retail auto parts store. When the coil spring is compressed, remove the center nut on your shock/strut assembly. Now you can safely remove the coil spring. Installation is the reverse of disassembly. <NOTE> These instructions only apply to OEM shocks/struts.
is helical coil and coil spring are the same
A spring is just a spring, a strut is a combination shock and spring unit which fits between the A frame and the vehicle body.
You have to take the whole strut assembly off (shock and spring). Then with a spring compressor on the coil spring, take the top nut off the strut shaft and take the spring off. Once the spring is off the whole strut assembly is replaced which will contain a new shock. Then you already have the spring compressed, so you put the old spring on to new strut (shock) put the top back on, release the spring and tighten the nut. You have to have a vise to clamp the strut into to replace the strut body.
